AMICUS 1000Plus type table tennis robot
Technical description
   


The AMICUS 1000Plus type table tennis robot of a maximum 50 W power consumption, operated by means of a 23O V ( 100 or 115 V as per demand) earthed mains connector, can be used continuously.

All the functions of the robot can be adjusted continuously also during play.

The robot has a special patented ball placing device, which makes it possible that even the balls coming one after the other to be shot in a programmed or random way to any point of the table.

The height of the robot head and so the shooting height of the balls can be changed.

2 discs with parallel shaft represent its shooting device. A variable speed motor drives each of them. Due to the shooting discs being of especially light construction and the electronic control system, the robot can shoot balls with any type of spin and speed. The two-disc device (contrary to the one-disc one) is suitable to shoot balls in topspin, backspin and spinless mode, too. The shooting head can be turned by +/-45 , enabling side-spin of the balls. The disc has a very long service life; its wearing out is foreseen only after at least 500 service hours, then it can be replaced simply.

The frequency of the ball shooting can be adjusted: 20 to 100 balls can be shot per minute.

Summarised the operation and functions of the table tennis robot type AMICUS 1000Plus, those can be listed as follows:

  • Shooting of balls of adjusted strength, spin, frequency and curve;
  • Set of ball positioning combinations along the total length of the table (e.g. 3 forehand, 1 backhand and 2 middle shots, etc. with their continuous repetition);
  • Positioning at random;
  • The height of the robot head can be adjusted with the help of the telescope stand (tube);
  • Micro processing control of ball positioning;
  • Stopping of shooting by means of a remote switch;
  • Ball collecting net, which is easily mountable onto the table;
  • Automatic ball return;
  • LED backward signalling on the operating box;
  • Automatic elimination of balls getting stuck;
  • Microprocessing control and electronical protection of shooting motors;
  • The novelty of the robot is the "small random" function, which means that the machine places the balls in a random way cca. within a 20 cm radius circle arround the programmed places.
